I've worked a lot. I don't like to watch myself. I don't go to the movies unless I have to go to the premiere.
There's nothing wrong with a male's point of view, obviously, but it's just a different way of telling a story.
I would just like to be able to give to people through acting. If I can entertain people by being somebody else and allow somebody to feel something, then that makes me feel good.
I would be really happy to be working and be able to do my craft.
It's scary. It's just different, you know? I really love it, and the more time that goes by, the more fun it is and the more I understand it. You can't know it until you actually experience it.
They bet I wouldn't last four days without having to take a break. So I was determined. I did 98 shows without missing a show.
They're great, and they're beautiful, and they're funny. I really hope this goes and stays on the air.
There are no small parts; there are only small actors.
I really love working. It makes me feel like an even better person when I work. I function much better if I have a really rigid schedule. When I'm left to my own devices, I can just be all over the place.
He's such an awesome dancer that he doesn't have to practice very hard. I mean, really, he's been doing this since he was a kid.
I'm not desperate anymore or feeling weird about myself because I'm not working in this business. I'm older and wiser, and there's a lot more to life.
There are many ups and downs in everyone's life and when you're an actor usually you're a very sensitive human being.
I'm an actress so the amount of rejection and commentary you get right to your face is pretty rough.
I have four kids - they're 19 to 33 - that I love more than anything.
